Trump blasts ‘nasty’ London mayor Khan —
as British PM looks on
July 28
Donald Trump reignited an old feud
in Scotland Monday, taking potshots
at Mayor of London Sadiq Khan while
standing beside Keir Starmer.
“I’m not a fan of your mayor,” said
the U.S. when asked if he would make
a visit to London on his upcoming
state visit. “I think he’s done a
terrible job … a nasty person. I
think he’s done a terrible job. But
I would certainly visit London, yeah.”
The dig offered up an awkward moment
for Starmer, the British prime minister,
who was standing alongside Trump
following a bilateral meeting between
the two leaders in Scotland.
Trump and Khan — a record-breaking
three-term mayor and one of Britain’s
most prominent Muslim politicians —
have history. Khan said Trump’s
second election as U.S. president
showed that “progress is not
inevitable” and hit out at “racism
and hatred” unleashed by the campaign.
Trump once called Khan a “stone cold
loser” and “very dumb” — after Khan
compared Trump to “the fascists of
the 20th century.” In 2018, Khan
allowed anti-Trump activists to fly
a blimp over parliament showing
Trump as a crying baby in a diaper
during his first state visit. >https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-blasts-nasty-london-mayor-khan-uk >-pm-starmer/
